"Antonio Perez is staring at you..."
Margo Gru rolled her eyes as her best friend, Emily Parker, let out a squeal, right in her ear. She shoved her books on her locker and slammed it shut. "Whatever."
Emily widened her eyes as she stared at Margo. "How can you say that?" She glanced at Antonio, who was smirking at them, then looked back at Margo. "He is totally checking you out." Margo shrugged. "Great. I don't really care. I don't have time for guys, nor do I like them. All I'm thinking about right now is my tight schedule. I have to finish decorating the gym for Valentine's Day, today, then I have to go over my essay about Albert Einstein, then I have to meet Ms. Brown after lunch to discuss the fund raiser for next month's Fun Festival, then after that I have three more classes, then I have to pick up Agnes from her ballet class, and Edith from soccer practice, then there's-"
"Ugh! How can you even think of one of your stupid schedules when the hottest boy in school is staring at you! You always obsess over those stupid schedules written in your stupid 'planbook'! You never think of anything else..."
"Hey! I do not obsess over my schedules..." Margo said defensively. "And they are not stupid, they serve a great purpose." Margo frowned. "And he isn't the hottest guy in the whole school, only in the fifth grade."
"So you admit it."
"Admit what?"
"That he's hot."
"No, what I mean is-"
"Hey girls." Emily and Margo turned around to see Antonio standing in front of them, a grin on his face. "Hey Em, mind if I steal Margo away from you for a bit?"
Emily nodded, squealing as she left. "So..." Antonio leaned against a locker. "You free tonight?"
Margo frowned. "No... You should know that. I assume you overheard the conversation between me and Emily?"
"Hey..." Antonio put his hands up. "You can't blame me for spying on a beautiful girl like you, a girl I like." He smiled lazily. "No need to be feisty with your answers, bella. Though I do like feisty gals." Margo gritted her teeth in annoyance. "Why don't you just stop wasting my time and leave?"
"Ouch." Antonio said in mock-hurt, putting a hand to his heart . "All I want is a date with the most beautiful girl in school."
"Please, Antonio. Give me a break." Margo said coolly. "You don't need to fool me, because I'm no fool."
"I'm not-"
"You say that to every girl in school. And you ran out of beautiful girls to play with, so you resorted to me for 'fun'."
"That's not why I-"
"As I said, stop wasting my time." She began to walk away. "Save it for someone who's interested."
"You what?"
Emily screeched as she and Margo headed home. "I didn't accept his proposal." Emily shook her head. "But why? You rejected a date with the hottest guy in the fifth grade! You rejected Antonio Perez! The Antonio Perez!" Margo rolled her eyes. "Will you shut up about him already? All your screaming is giving me a headache, and I have a ton of homework to do later. I don't need a headache while finishing my assignments."
Emily shoo her head in disbelief. "I can't believe you rejected Antonio Perez. that's almost as bad as your obsession with lists." Margo glared at her, about to say something nasty when Emily suddenly stopped walking and stared straight ahead of them, her jaw dropping and her eyes wide.
Margo turned to see what she was looking at and gasped, her eyes becoming the size of plates.
Antonio Perez stood at the her doorstep, a bouquet of roses in one hand and a huge teddy bear in the other. He was dressed in a black turtleneck and dark jeans, with his usual blue scarf wrapped around his neck. A leather jacket was draped over his shoulders. He got down on one knee. "Margo Gru, will you do the honor of going out with me?"
Emily shook Margo, who was still frozen in shock, whispering. "Say yes. Say yes. Say yes."
At that moment Felonious Gru came out, a small smile on his face. "It's okay, Margo. The boy and I talked, and I deemed him worthy of you." He put a hand on the young man's shoulder. "You see, he doesn't know any other way of talking to you, so he 'flirted'. He likes you a lot, and he's very nervous whenever he sees you, so he uses cockiness as a way to talk to you."
"So... Will you go out with me?"
They all stared at Margo, whose mouth was set into a thin line. Then she smiled and nodded. "Alright."
Antonio grinned and stood up. "That's great!" He approached Margo. "I made reservations at El Matador, me and my dad's favorite restaurant. They serve the best food, you'll love their enchi-"
"Wait! Wait!" Emily grabbed Margo's arm. "We need to get you dressed!" She dragged Margo inside the Gru mansion.
They came out a few minutes later, and Antonio's breath was taken away. Margo looked beautiful in a yellow dress with her hair down and a light blue ribbon in it. Antonio smiled and draped his leather jacket over her shoulders. "Now... I want her back by seven... Gru glanced at his watch. "Which is in two hours, now get going."
Emily and Gru watched Antonio and Margo leave, Antonio's arm around her, with smiles on their faces.
I tried my best. But it came out stupid. :/
